L'ANTHOLOGIA FUNK. Dagli anni '70 ad oggi. Gli italiani che hanno scelto il groove

This cd aims to compare two diff erent periods of Italian music history through funk music.
It is also the first attempt to find a proper “reason why” to this kind of music, much popular in the Seventies but mostly conceived as a means rather then as an end. Following the steps of Rhythm & Blues and its quite successful protagonists, Funk in Italy developed as a kind of music that gave - and still gives - a feeling of fulfilment to those who play it and that perfectly fi ts as the music for a mixed community of people. Therefore, with the help of the technological upgrade in the musical instruments’ construction process, Funk started to improve the general perception of Italian music, giving it a international and contemporary appeal. Artists with diff erent backgrounds and experiences indiscriminately started to use it. The first cd mirrors this journey in time showing Funk in Italy, then as now, as a very serious affair. Cramps records - this compilation’s producer - gave a chance to many artists that used the language of Funk in the name of originality. Even never openly mentioning Funk as a way to express certain contents. When in the first decade of the following century a proud army of Funkeeters landed in peace on planet Earth, it was clear to everybody that Funk was finally back, to stay.
